This is a translation provided for convenience. The German version (Datenschutzerklärung) is legally binding.
+
+
+ The text you paste on this site is converted exclusively in your browser. It is not
+ transmitted, stored or analysed. There are no cookies, no analytics, no embedded third-party
+ services and no externally loaded fonts. Only the technical access data that arises whenever a
+ website is requested is collected.

There is no legal requirement to appoint a data protection officer.

2. Processing of pasted content
+
+ Converting formatted text into Markdown happens entirely client-side, by JavaScript in your
+ browser. Content you paste never leaves your device and is discarded when you close or reload
+ the page. To that extent, we do not process any personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.
+
+
+ Saving the result as a .md file and copying it to the clipboard also happen locally
+ through the corresponding browser interfaces. No data is sent to us.
+
+
+ The “Paste” button reads your device's clipboard. This only happens when you press the button
+ and, depending on the browser, only after you have given permission. As with pasting via the
+ keyboard, the content is converted locally only. On smartphones, “Save” hands the file to your
+ operating system's share sheet; where you pass it on from there is up to you.
+
+
+ Cleaning up pasted web pages and formatting Reddit threads also run entirely in your browser.
+ The optional “Open in Obsidian” button places the text on the clipboard and hands it to the
+ Obsidian app on your device; nothing is transmitted to us or third parties.
+
+
+
3. Local storage of your settings
+
+ So that the site remembers your preferences, it stores values in your browser's local storage
+ (localStorage), such as your chosen language, light or dark
+ appearance and your conversion settings. These values stay on your device, are not transmitted
+ to us and contain none of the content you paste. They are not cookies. You can delete them at
+ any time in your browser settings.
+
+
+ Only if you switch on “Keep the last 10 clips” in the settings does the site store the most
+ recently edited texts in your browser's local database (IndexedDB).
+ This feature is off by default. The entries never leave your device, are only visible in this
+ browser and can be deleted individually or all at once in the history; when you switch the
+ feature off, you are asked whether the history should be deleted.
+
+
+ The basis for this purely local storage is your wish for a working user interface; we have no
+ access to it.
+
+
+
4. Offline use (Progressive Web App)
+
+ The site registers a service worker that stores the required program files in your browser's
+ cache, so clip2md also works without an internet connection. Only program files of this site
+ are cached, never your content. You can remove the cache via your browser's site data.
+
+
+
5. Server log files
+
When this site is requested, the hosting provider automatically stores data in log files:
+
+ - IP address of the requesting device
+ - date and time of access
+ - name and URL of the requested file
+ - amount of data transferred and whether the request succeeded
+ - browser and operating system used
+ - where applicable, the previously visited page (referrer)
+
+
+ The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the technically
+ error-free operation and security of the service. The data is deleted after seven days at the
+ latest and is not combined with other data sources.
+
+
+
6. Hosting
+
+ This site is operated on servers of Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen,
+ Germany. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the provider.
+ Processing takes place exclusively within the European Union. Data transfer to this site is
+ encrypted via HTTPS.
+
+
+
7. No cookies, no tracking
+
+ This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising or audience measurement services.
+ No content is loaded from third-party servers, in particular no fonts and no scripts from
+ content delivery networks. A consent banner is therefore not required.
+
+
+ One exception concerns the optional preview: if the text you paste contains images hosted on
+ third-party servers, your browser loads those images from there when the preview is shown. The
+ respective server learns your IP address in the process. None of your text is transmitted, and
+ the origin is not sent thanks to Referrer-Policy: no-referrer. If you
+ want to avoid this, keep the preview switched off.
+
+
+
8. Support via PayPal
+
+ The site contains a “Donate” or “Buy me a coffee” link. It is a plain link; when you open
+ clip2md, no content, scripts or cookies are loaded from PayPal and no data is sent to PayPal.
+ Only when you click the link do you leave this site and reach a PayPal payment page.
+
+
+ The provider is PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22–24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449
+ Luxembourg. PayPal itself is responsible for processing on its pages; its privacy statement
+ applies:
+ paypal.com/de/legalhub/privacy-full.
+
+
+ If you pay an amount, PayPal provides us with the details needed to process it, in particular
+ your name, email address, the amount, date and time, and the transaction number. The legal basis
+ is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (processing the payment) and Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR in conjunction with
+ statutory tax and commercial retention obligations (usually eight to ten years). The data is not
+ used for any other purpose, such as advertising. The payment is voluntary; nothing is provided
+ in return.
+
+
+
9. Your rights
+
+ You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17),
+ restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and the right to object to
+ processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Art. 21). To exercise these rights, please contact the
+ address above.
+
+
+
10. Right to lodge a complaint
+
+ You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent authority
+ is the State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony (Die Landesbeauftragte für den
+ Datenschutz Niedersachsen), Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hannover, Germany.
